Norfolk Native by Farina262

Now I live in Norfolk (I used to live in Chicago). The neighborhood between downtown and the nice neighborhoods is completely ghetto. Though once you get north of the Lynnhaven river you’re fine (yes there’s ALOT of water, pretty views ect.) A tip: don’t hang out at downtown Norfolk at night, it’s creepy you’ll probably get shot.
If you want to go to the beach I would recommend Rehoboth or Bethany Beach (about 3 hours north). Virginia Beach is like one giant tattoo parlor. Not a very good family place. Though it is a good place to come to if you’re interested in the Navy or Naval Science. over 4 years ago

I have been to Norfolk, HR, VaBeach area many times. Not a Family Place at all. There are a few nice spots like downtown Norfolk. Mainly its one GIANTGHETTO! Virginia Beach is the worst. They had to enact laws and strict dress codes for the gang members that were getting in fights on the beach so often. I hated going up there. Solution: Drive about an hour south to the Outer Banks of North Carolina!!!!! (OBX)! Incredible Beaches, nice people, very safe, and most of all worth seeing! I wouldn’t recommend going to VaBeach unless you are a 1) felon, 2)looking to get in a brawl, or 3) want to be caught in a drive-by! Its a piece of crap town! Other solution: Go a little farther north to Williamsburg! over 4 years ago

was in January 2008 – I was there for two days, one night. Stayed at the home of one of my niece’s and had an interview for an internship. Would like to go back for a vacation some day. The land seemed flat and there was a hint in the air of the salt breezes….

  • travel.nytimes.com Introduction to Norfolk by FROMMER'S November 20, 2006 Although it's still a major seaport and naval base, Norfolk has replaced its notorious sailor bars (they're in suburban strip malls now) with a vibrant, modern downtown of high-rise offices, condominiums, marinas, museums, shops, nightspots, and a 12,000-seat minor league baseball park. The MacArthur Center, a shopping mall just a few blocks from the riverfront, now dominates downtown. Interspersed are reminders of Norfolk's past, such as historic houses and the old City Hall, now a museum and memorial to World War II hero Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Here also is Virginia's finest art museum, the state's official zoo, and a beautiful botanical garden. And for foodies, hip restaurants have brought great tastes to downtown and the gentrified residential neighborhood known as Ghent. (read article)
